Best audio purchase of 2011


Let us know what was your best purchase this year.

I will start, found from a local dealer the Krell combo: Reference 64 DAC with the DT-10 transport. for those who are skeptical that ancient digital technology is easily surpased with new stuff, listening to this combo changed my mind. This was one of, if not the only piece of equipment which after trying out, and then reading the Stereophile review, i actually heard and agreed as to what the reviewer was raving about.

Bought used XLR Crimson ICs on a whim here on the 'Gon. Turned out to be exceptional in my system.
For my music studio - Manley Vari Mu Mastering Limiter

For my hifi - Stax SRM-007tII and Stax SR-007MK2
Two Mapleshade racks with the gorgeous cherry finish shelves. New dedicated ac lines.
A Tranquility DAC hooked up to a mac mini. I've been listening to folkalley.com almost non-stop. I'm loving it.
